Hacienda Abraspungo: Activities

For a beautiful trip in Ecuador visit the region of Riobamba.

Hacienda Abraspungo is the ideal spot from where to begin expeditions to the Chimborazo Volcano and incredible surrounding mountains, be it on horseback, mountain bike or on foot.

The Hacienda offers various interesting treks through the many ecosystems in the area as well as tours to the surrounding lakes where you can hike, fish and share experiences with the remote indigenous people that live here.

Bullfighting and polo lessons are also available for those who wish to learn more about the skillful arts of these classic sports.

The Hacienda is located in Riobamba, the starting point for a world famous train ride, a unique and dramatic journey which passes through rich tapestries of carefully cultivated Andean landscapes before plunging down the cliff edges of the exhilarating Devil’s Nose.

Experienced mountain climbers, or amateurs who wish to improve their skills, can organize through the Hacienda a special adventure with the famous mountaineer José Jijón who has climbed solo the highest mountain of each continent in the ‘7 peaks’ challenge. At 11am Ecuadorian time on April 10th of 2008, José Jijón reached the North Pole without assistance.
